Loeb will probably get his wish and Thompson will be removed from his position as CEO and Chairman of the Board. This will not be because he does not have a degree in Computer Science, but rather because he exaggerated his prowess about his knowledge of computer science. Shame, because to be the chairman of Yahoo, one really doesn't need that much in the way of a knowledge of Computer Science.

Not sure I agree. While I;ve seen some of what you talk about I;ve also seen real blindness to clear business decisions at the tophttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa448cfecad042b5b00001ddlmcdonoughFri, 04 May 2012 17:23:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa448cfecad042b5b00001d
1) The patent thing is such a crock...see oracle, MSFT, and every other tech company in the US for alternative examples of tech companies suing other tech companies over patents, right now.
2) FYI: telling your vendor that you are going to move to their competitor = negotiating....and BTW, this is the same threat that every other MS licensee uses every time they negotiate with MS
3) The labs group? Really? You mean that fountain of new, innovative products that we have all heard of? Which operates inside a company that desperately needs to narrow its focus?
4) Thompson is right: Dan Loeb is NOT FIT to be on Yahoo's board...if anyone can provide a single example of something Dan Loeb has done in his career that would give him ANY insight into the operation of a large tech company, please share.
5) Oh NO! There is total chaos inside the company?? You mean, unlike before he got there, when it was a well-oiled, market crushing machine, in no need of a shake up? Is that what you mean Mr Yahoo employee?
6) Yahoo is not in need of collaboration...it needs someone to pick a path, and then drive the company into it, collaboration be damned...see "Steve Jobs" for definition of "least collaborative CEO ever...see same reference for most insulting CEO as well...
7) IPG is ian intermediary...that is a statement of fact, and it is a relevant observation for Yahoo's CEO to make.
8) Blake needed to go...see every complaint about Yahoo's ad serving system, CMS disaster for examples of why...also see the total absence of innovation at any of their core properties over last decade, and the total absence of any major adoption of social or mobile in their products other than obvious, "me-too" improvements that come only after everyone else on the web has imp;lamented them
9) If he hires yes-men, then shame on him...no evidence of that yet except for your whiny, off-base criticism of a CEO who has apparently disrupted your nap time at the office.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa43689eab8ea6d38000005Euro2centFri, 04 May 2012 16:05:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa43689eab8ea6d38000005
Apple keyboards. "Splat" is their not-windows command key. Bing "splat key".
(Is it "bing", bang or bong? Perhaps bungee?)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa42d35eab8eaac28000003Don DraperbotFri, 04 May 2012 15:25:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa42d35eab8eaac28000003
7. He is arrogant, pompous and dismissive. He starts every conversation by insulting someone.
So, this guy is less Cliff Claven than Don Rickles. Good move, Yahoo board.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa41c6b6bb3f76b0d000003Gary CooperFri, 04 May 2012 14:14:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa41c6b6bb3f76b0d000003

Your comments are usually on the money but if you don't wise up wrt Yahoo you're going to lose your $135k. Yahoo has pressed the self-destruct button by hiring this asshole.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa413fb6bb3f7517f000002dan95050Fri, 04 May 2012 13:38:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa413fb6bb3f7517f000002
So you lost $10,000 already this morning? Very impressive.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3ffff69beddcf50000008Sir Bunts Singh Fri, 04 May 2012 12:12:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3ffff69beddcf50000008

This is the exact kind of person that a sinking company like Yahoo will attract. Who were you expecting, the next Steve Jobs?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3fb0eecad04065200000eWhat is the Splat Command?Fri, 04 May 2012 11:51:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3fb0eecad04065200000e

Bunts, please buy shares in this company. Take all your profits from your mom's tea farm and plow then into this company. Watching you swirl the drain along with this company would be well worth the entertainment.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3fa1e69bedd594200003cSir Bunts Singh Fri, 04 May 2012 11:47:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3fa1e69bedd594200003c
WELL SAID....these are Yahoo employees wanting to cannibalize their own CEO who has the balls to enforce patent rights on thiefs!
what a novel idea!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3f99369bedd4e40000026Critique_Fri, 04 May 2012 11:45:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3f99369bedd4e40000026
Whining scared, mediocre employees...
They should all be fired. Its their fault that Yahoo sucks, not Bartz or anyone else. too many fat, lazy, under performing mediocre people who have had cushy jobs for years - they all need to go.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3f897ecad04be4d000026cokeisgoodFri, 04 May 2012 11:41:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3f897ecad04be4d000026
You selfish and incapable idiots were already totally failure. Scott was coming to clean you silly out and your ass. Why not let him clean all of you ? Can you tell Scott your idea directly or in public?
Facebook, microsoft?! funny, those are vampires drinking yahoo's blood.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3f7d5eab8eaad2c00001bSir Bunts Singh Fri, 04 May 2012 11:37:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fa3f7d5eab8eaad2c00001b
Looks like a man doing his job to unlock equity for long suffering shareholders.You should award him with a raise. Look what your passive Mr.Jerry Yang did to the company.
What if you fire him over such a small trivial issue(unproven and not guilty until proved) and then hire another guy who gets into Sexual Harassment?
Infact, giving Scotty a second chance would be smart move....it will make him work harder and be grateful for the second chance.
You guys need to put Shareholders first. If anyone has been harmed by his Resume, please stand up.
